Winkle fine tunes lifting magnets.Winkle Industries, Alliance, Ohio Alliance is a city in Mahoning and Stark counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. The population was 23,253 at the 2000 census. Alliance's nickname is "The Carnation City" and the city is home to Mount Union College. , has launched its newest lifting magnet for the scrap industry. The 68-inch magnet out lifts the company's earlier models, sometimes lifting on par with Winkle's 71- or 72-inch units. "Our investment in 3D Finite Element Analysis Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method (FEM). There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. is now paying big dividends for our customers," Winkle President Joe Schatz says. "We did not want to be just another magnet supplier to this industry or any other industry. There is a lot of science that goes into this business, and we wanted to bring it out." Winkle Engineer Mike Conn says that the industry's transition from cable cranes to hydraulic material handlers calls for a change in magnet design, with magnets typically using 50 percent duty cycles. "These machines move much faster than the old machines. Now, to maximize their investment, scrap yards scrap yard n → depósito de chatarra; (for cars) → cementerio de coches scrap yard n → parc m à ferrailles; ( require 75 percent or higher duty cycles without burning up," Conn says.

The company says its new 68-inch magnets provide the comparable lifting capacity of a 72-inch magnet and weigh about 1,500 pounds less. Winkle says three years of research and development have gone into the new magnet. "Furthermore, we are now taking the result from our research and are applying it to the rest of our product line," Schatz says.
